Installation

B1 Important Information

B1-1— Tidy cables and loose items from the ground and move any unstable, fragile, precious, or dangerous items to prevent personal injury or property damage due to items becoming tangled in, struck by, or knocked over by the robot.
B1-2— When using the robot in a raised area, always use a secure physical barrier to prevent accidental falls that may result in personal injury or property damage.
Note: When using the robot for the first time, follow it throughout its whole cleaning route and watch for potential problems. The robot will be able to clean by itself in future uses.
B2 Position the charging dock
B2-1— Take the screwdriver from its storage bin at the bottom of the base.
B2-2— Place dock upside down on a soft, flat surface (carpet/towel/ cloth) and attach the base by using the six screws provided.
Note: Hold the dustbin cover securely when upside down to prevent damage from falling.
B2-3— Connect the power cable to the dock, and keep the excess cable inside the storage slot.
B2-4— Place the dock on a hard and flat floor (wood/tile/concrete etc.), flat against a wall. Keep at least 0.3 m (1 ft) of clearance on either side and 1 m (3 ft) both in front and above.
Make sure the location has good WiFi for a better experience with the mobile app, and then plug it in.
B2-4-1—more than 0.3 m (1ft)
B2-4-2—more than 1 m (3ft)
Notes:

• The status indicator light turns off automatically when the robot is charging.
• The status indicator turns red if an error occurs.
• Do not use without a dustbin cover or dust bag.
• Place the dock on a flat floor away from fire, heat, and water. Avoid narrow spaces or locations where the robot may be suspended in the air.
• Placing the dock on a soft surface (carpet/mat) may cause the dock to tilt over and cause problems docking and departing.
• Keep excess power cable inside the storage slot so that the robot will not get tangled in the cables, and the dock will not be dragged away or disconnect from the power supply.
• Keep the dock away from direct sunlight or anything that may block the dock location beacon; otherwise, the robot may fail to return to the dock.
• The Auto-Empty Dock recharges and empties. Store the standard robot dock before use. Failure to do so may cause issues returning to dock.
• Maintain the dock according to the maintenance instructions. Do not clean the dock with a wet cloth.

Note: The robot may not turn on when the battery is low. In this case, place the robot directly onto the dock to charge.
B4 Mopping
Note: To prevent excessive dirt buildup during first-time use, floors should be vacuumed at least three times before mopping.
B4-1—Remove the water tank
Press the water tank latch and slide the tank backwards.
